Dressings

The weight problem was solved by using beads, copper, brass, silver or gold.
I started off with a a strip of mink as a tail, plus mink wound around hook for body. I wanted to represent the tadpole. However it proved to be sluggish so as more mobility was needed I substituted the mink tail with long marabou adding strands of flashabou.

Comments from other fly fishermen

Dear Sir,
I am from South Africa, now living in Dallas, Usa. I lived in East London and used to buy all my flies from Harry Stewart. I donated all my tackle to a good friend there as i thought i could get all my tackle in this big state, i was wrong the flies here are no where near what i am used to fishing with. I need my millionaire taddy olive like a druggie who needs his fix. Can you post to dallas and are postage fees very expensive.

Yes it's not a problem, we post worldwide, and it's just £3.35 for postage to the US. - Posted by David Radley - Fish4Flies team on 23/06/2009
